Debated whether to put this here or in political humorâŚ
This isnât Aquinasâs feast day (itâs usually on the death day of a saint, but it got moved to January 28, the date MOST OF his relics were moved to Toulouse â because having a saintâs day during Lent isnât all that great for the saint.)
I said MOST OF, because St. Thomas Aquinasâs skull is still in Italy!
Iâve seen one of these first-class relics before â often a head or a heart is separated from the rest of the body and preserved.
If you want to know about the different classes of relics:
First-class: This is the âhighestâ form of relic, and refers to a piece of the body of the saintâincluding bones, hair, etc. This class also includes relics of Christâs Passion, such as pieces of the True Cross.
Second-class: These relics are items that belonged to or were used by the saint, such as clothing, books, and rosaries, or an instrument used in the torture or death of a martyr.
Third-class: These are itemsâsuch as a rosary, piece of cloth, or prayer cardâthat have been touched to a first or second class relic.
Lots of people have third-class relics. Those are easy to get.
